The space between the insertion ring and the con tainer is indicated by In Fig. 1 as Well as Fig. 2 it is evident that by the ope *ation of the crank or other means to lift the rotatable disc, the ring, also necessarily follows, together with the rotatable disc I) forming a holder, by means of which the pared vegetables are easily lifted out of the container at, whereby the particles of rind formed by using the device remain in the container, and may easily be removed. i

Having no W described my invention, what 1 claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A device for paring root vegetables comprising an outer container enclosing partly a detachable ring receiving the root vegetables and having means for grating the root vegetables, partly a rotatable and de tachable bottom disc separated from the said ring and by the rotation of which the root vegetables are forced into contact with the gating means of the ring, said rotatable bottom disc having a greater outer diameter than the ring and being located beneath the same in such a manner that it, when lifted, strikes the ring and carries the same with it, together with the pared root vegetables out of the container.

2. A device as claimed in claim 1, in which the ring is provided with projecting parts serving as supports for the ring and. providing a space between the ring and the outer container. a

In witness whereof, I have hereunto signed my name.
